We’ve seen some awful horse racing beats over the years, but probably nothing worse than what occurred over the weekend.

During a race, a horse had a huge lead before taking a drastic misstep. When the horse took a powerful step in the wrong direction, the jockey went flying off and he could not take the seemingly easy victory.

Check out the absurdly bad beat below:

At least the jockey would end up coming away from the race unharmed. And the horse Moro Flyboy was also fine following the absurd mistake.

As it stands, Moro Flyboy is set to race again during Fourth of July weekend.

Still, you have to feel for anyone who put money on Moro Flyboy to win this race, and it looks like we have an early candidate for bad beat of the year.
